Hello.

Curious about my line in general and also what you all do on the river here as played.
It's rush poker so no reads.

Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is UTG with A

You're raising from UTG, so your range is very strong. You cb a dry flop for value against weaker Qx, KJ, J9, or worse

On the turn you cb small enough to continue getting calls from draws, and maybe even worse Qx.

By the river I don't know if you can bet again for value since his calling range doesn't have that many Qx. I'd probably c/c river to let him try and fire his missed draws/worse hands since your line has been weak.

As played i would fold in theory, and in practice i would level myself into thinking he's bluffing his missed draws since i've been betting weakly

I fold. Board paired + not a lot of draws in his range on that flop + low bluffing frequency in general on rivers in the micros. I don't think your queens up are good enough here enough of the time.

I normally never fold when Villain is trying to rep a stupid small amount of hands like he is here.

I agree with Teddie, I can't see a single hand he's representing that isn't just a stupid bluff. However I've been surprised by villain plays in the past so it's close.

He represents QQ/TT/44 very well, and i don't think the chances of him making a bluff are very likely...but you're right QQ/TT/44 is only 6 combos (1+4+1 amirite? lol i'm dumb)

Don't we expect him to raise his sets on turn? His line doesn't really make sense for anything at all... At the same time though river bluffs AI are VERY rare at the micros. I think I'm calling this yet expecting to be behind in some really dumb way (QT maybe?)

btw sets are 5 combos (only 3 for TT).

If his set boats up on the turn its very conceivable he smooth calls there

Does anyone advocate checking turn for pot control or is that hella weak?

I know I'm going to get flamed for this...

but when playing rush I just assume everyone is a setmining moran, so I check the turn planning to fold to a bet (call a little one). The flop is dry as a bone.

Rush = no reads

The more that I play rush, the more I play like Kurt and the more I win when I don't stack off light. Villian could also be playing KK or AA here.

People will stack off very laughably light in rush. Allow them the opportunity to do so.
